Do you buy sheet music?

NorioDS

Do you buy sheet music? Do you want to help me test a new site that sells digital sheet music?

How it works:
1. You find the sheet music you're looking for. From Zappa to Beethoven. You can hear and see previews of each title before purchasing.
2. You enter your contact details and place your order.
4. You pay via EFT and send proof to me. (In future, you'll also have the option of credit card payment).
5. You download your sheet music and open it in special software. (This is NOT PDF sheetmusic. It's protected against copying so it only works with specific software).

You can only print it once but you can transpose it to another key before doing so. You can "view" it on your PC as many times as you like.

So, would you help test a system like this? You would get a decent lifetime discount for being a tester but you actually have to use the system and give me feedback or your discount will be withdrawn. I need serious testers.

Don't punish people who legally pay for what you have to sell by giving them an awkward interface. I haven't seen your app but I can only assume that it won't have the features I like from my favourite pdf viewer (although auto-transpose does sound nice). If I can see it on my screen, I can make as many copies as I like. Not to mention how dof it is that I can only print one copy (photocopier...)

Copy protection does not stop people from pirating, (except for morons) it only annoys paying customers.

just my 2c...

oh, also, 'from abba to zappa' sounds cooler ?

Thanks raithza but I have no choice. My provider only provides the titles in this proprietary format with these restrictions. The only control I have over anything is the website, pricing, stuff like that.

I'll help to test it, so sign me up!

Thanks much ? Will you drop me an email? I'm finalising the purchase process and then you can start. Thanks again! ?
